The Eye Of Silence

My eyes were ringed with darkness And the dew of sadness Blanketed my genes. Your words of love Sat on the left angle of my lips. I wanted you to be able To continue this story of love, But the chestnut leaves yellowed So dramatic in autumn, The wind tortured itself In the cold air And the cold penetrated forever The spine of my loneliness. Only with you I have seen the unseen And I understood The meaning of un-meaning. Only you can make love To have a deep sense. You became my cherished memory, My longing aches Inside my wet polished stone, Seemingly shining In the wave of my life river. My eyes of silence Drip the tears of time I still close them in deep moments To feel my existence. I open them again Into another world. I see the birds flying and I understand That's my spiritual flight and must be Upwardly sensed forever. Poem by Marieta Maglas
